  18.         Bruce puts his finger on it. "Software Engineer" is a
  19.         meaningless and misleading term. Don't agree? Okay, design a
  20.         test that distinguishes between a software engineer and a
  21.         programmer. Before you do that, talk to a real engineer.
  22.  
  23.         The one good to come of this is now that Software Engineer is
  24.         the fashionable euphemism for Programmer, the real Systems
  25.         Analysts may be able to reclaim their title.
